R.I.P. Thin Lizzy Singer/Bassist Phil Lynott
Jan. 4, 1986: Thin Lizzy singer/bassist Phil Lynott died at the young age of 36.
His longtime abuse of cocaine, heroin and booze led to his collapse on Christmas day at his home in London.
Kidney and liver infections complicated by pneumonia and, finally, heart failure took his life too soon.
